I'm a huge Uncharted fan, I believe the game franchise is one of the greatest ever created through a combination of fantastic stories, voice acting and construction.

For this reason I've always been on the fence regarding a potential film. Yes I'd love to see it on the big screen but I don't want to see it get the mindless Hollywood treatment and be a complete bust.

For as long as I can remember I've said that Nathan Fillion is Nathan Drake. The man not only looks identical to the character but can play both dramatic and comedic perfectly.

The rumours have been flying the past couple of years that it'll happen but Tom Holland will be playing a young Nathan Drake. This to me seems moronic, making Drake Jnr would surely be a straight to dvd spinoff effort and not the focus of a movie franchise?! Surely!?

This fan made film stars the man himself in the lead role and Stephen Lang as Sully. My belief that he truly is Nathan Drake was confirmed, he was perfect.

At just 15 minutes there really isn't much here and it tells the quick story of our hero breaking free of his confines and battling a series of henchmen.

Fillion is perfection, Lang isn't half bad but our Elena? Certainly a weak link.

This live action fan film is fantastic it goes to demonstrate what could be, a potentially outstanding film just waiting to be made. Sadly however, this is almost certainly the closest we'll get.

Essentially viewing for Uncharted fans.

The Good:

Nathan Fillion IS Nathan Drake

Looks great

The Bad:

That simply isn't Elena

It's a tease

Things I Learnt From This Short:

Nothing they ever do with Tom Holland will come close to this

This could make a brilliant television series!

A movie version of Uncharted never seemed like a good idea (the games were already movies), but I can't speak highly enough of this fan film. It gets by on a minimum, so there's no globe-trotting or big explosive set pieces, but it gets the most important thing right: the spirit. And almost all of that is thanks to Nathan Fillion. He gets the humor, Drake's banter, and just plain looks the part. It's like watching Nathan Drake actually get beat up, outrun machine gun fire and settle arguments with his fists. I'll admit I'm not sold on the supporting cast, but when the credits rolled, I was hungry for more. I'd pay cold hard cash to see the full movie.

Make that happen!

Nathan Fillion is Nathan Drake in the flesh! He was born for this role. Ever since I fell in love with the Uncharted games I've wanted an adventure movie like that with a character as likable as Drake, and my first choice was Fillion. I was amazed that they then did this short and got really excited that they'd make an actual movie as a result. To my sorrow, they're rolling out a take on Uncharted with Tom Holland instead.... He may do a good job, but the movie won't be anything like it could have been.

Ive been using IMDB for years, I have rated loads of films but never been bothered to review one.

This is a fantastic little skit, and shows the absolute potential of Nathan Fillion playing the role that every fan of the game has seen from the start!

My message to the money men........... DO THIS NOW!!

As a huge fan of Naughty Dog, Uncharted and Nathan Fillion. Wow. This fan made filmcwas absolutely incredible, everyone who worked on this film well done to you. Stephen Lang as Sully was such a surprise and a good one too!

This just proves why Nathan Fillion should play Drake an we need a netflix tv series about this. A series dedicated to a treasure hunt to fit all the detail in would be perfect.

Wow, this was really good. With all the crap movies getting make for Netflix these days I can't believe they haven't made an offer for this movie to be made.

I can say with confidence that almost everyone that played an uncharted game wanted it to become a movie. I've imagined in my head for so long an uncharted movie staring nathan fillion and it finally came true. I loved every second of it. nathan fillion looks sounds and acts just like nathan drake. Please please sony pick up this film for a full release. Your fan base deserves it. I would like to thank nathan fillion and everyone involved in the making of this short film you can see that everyone involved of this production care deeply about this franchise and just wanted to make the fans happy. Thank you so much

Please Hollywood make this happen! Please for the love of god forget about the Tom Tolland movie version and take a good look at this fan movie instead. THIS is how you make a great video game live action movie! We are ready to give you our money, are you ready to deliver for once?

I WANT MORE. This was beautifully executed - and well scripted. I hope that naughty dog and Sony picks up on this, and makes it happen.

But then again, I hope it doesn't fall into the trap of leaning to heavily on the games. Like the new tomb raider movie did....

I agree with other users, this would make a great series!

If Allan Ungar can make a spectacular short with less than a million dollars, imagine what he can do with a higher budget with the same cast and full creative freedom.

I'm still not convinced about the Tom Holland Mark Wahlberg adaptation.

Fire up the Kickstarter because I'm so IN! All this beautiful short film did was tick me off because there wasn't MORE! Don't know why this hasn't been made into a full length movie or a Netflix series yet but someone somewhere is slacking BIG TIME!

Nathan Fillion had Drake down to perfection and Lang as Sully was brilliant! All the casting choices were excellent and I REALLY wanted to see what happened next. So, whoever's in charge, get on this and make it happen! Strike while the iron is HOT and all that because you're adoring fans are waiting. Impatiently, I might add.

I personally really liked this short, but the only problem I had with it is that it seemed very unprofessional (not movie like), although this is something that is generally fixed with a proper budget and crew, the short action sequence lacked the intensity that made the game series as good as it was (again something that is generally fixed with a proper crew and professional cinematographers). All in all I am very excited to see some more of this and hope to get a full fledged uncharted film sometime in the near future.

This short film was a well casted and well made film. Having watched it when people were saying it was better than Ruben Fleischer's Uncharted, which I haven't watched yet but this one was good. I wish it was longer.

Awful absolute trash just because someone lookslike drake does not mean he should play nathan drake in a movie he is too old and humour comes across as forced

Love love love this. Always been a fan of Fillion and this shows he would be perfect to play Drake! Seeing Lang as Sully was a great suprise. Its really works! This need picking up and made into a long movie and maybe a series too! Now to get Claudia Black involved as the amazing Chloe and its perfect!

I've been a huge fan of this series since it first came out, and have just recently played through all four games again. Nathan Fillion has been a fan favorite for years... I can't think of anyone else who could play a spot on recreation of Nathan Drake like him. There needs to be much more of this... I don't want a franchise, I just wish for ONE video game adaptation that's worth a damn.

Couldn't have picked a better Drake and Sully. Please please please make more. Nathan Fillion and Stephen Lang are some of my favorite actors. Thank you for this little gem.

The short film was brilliant. Not only does it capture the spirit of Uncharteds writing it stays loyal to the characters. From Nathan's quips and whitty dialogue to how the characters move and how they look; it was just perfect. I believe if this was picked up by Sony and worked on like the leaked Deadpool footage we could finally have a fantastic video game movie. The only downside is it left me wanting more. A downside that Sony can change.

Can't wait to see if this stellar adaptation of the hugely-popular video game franchise will become a full-length feature film. Boy, I hope so. Well done guys

My pirated downloaded copy was dubbed in Russian and it was the worst dubbing ever, but I really didn't care as I've seen this story so many times before. This was - thank God, a short version. So why even make it? Nothing spectacular or even close to being worthy of all the fake 10/10's. It's a solid 6/10 from me

Nathan Fillion, flawless Drake!!! I cant wait for more!

I have no idea what the source material for this is. I stopped playing video games at Pacman. But I got enough here to follow the story line. And it seems like a story that would work well for TV. I say "seems like" because I'm no sure. I don't watch TV. I gave up on TV when the writing got so bad I couldn't stand it anymore.

But from my memory of TV this looks like it would fit right in. The action, the writing and the photography all fits perfectly.

Now obviously this was a one-off low budget proof of concept piece. And as such it does its job nicely. Having no previous attachment to the source material I can't say whether the actors fit their characters or not. But Fillion and Lang are top notch actors so they'd certainly both be up to the task.

If this project somehow makes it to the big screen I hope to God that they invest a lot more time and effort in the writing. If they do that, and with a good DP, this could be pretty good. As it is it's just OK.

This short film is better than every full-length video game movie that's ever been made. Studios would be doing a disservice to fans if they made a different movie with a different cast (supposedly there's an Uncharted movie in the works with Tom Holland and Bryan Cranston). However, given the incompetence of Hollywood, they would probably find a way to screw it up.
